Square Enix has recently announced the system requirements for the alpha test of Final Fantasy XIV. Though many players really wish the announced system requirements to be the recommended requirements,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they still have to face the reality. The listed notes clearly point out that those are the lowest requirements. Even though the specified requirements are satisfied, it's still uncertain whether the alpha version of Final Fantasy XIV can be run smoothly. Obviously, Final Fantasy XIV is a game targeting at high-end PCs. This has provoked much discussion among players. Moreover, the official company has made it clear that the announced requirements are only for the alpha test and may be modified when the game is officially launched. But it's really hard to say whether the low-specification PCs can also run the game smoothly then.

DirectX 9.0c or above is necessary. For the Windows XP users, DirectX 9 is the upper limit due to the system restriction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while for the users of Windows Vista or above, DirectX 10 is required. This means that certain players who wish to join the test will have to upgrade their operating systems.
On the other hand, besides the profound background and storyline, the amazingly gorgeous graphics are also the reason for the Final Fantasy series' high popularity among players. Compared to DirectX 10, DirectX 9 is obviously unable to present the magnificent world of Final Fantasy XIV perfectly. From the following screenshots, you may easily see the difference between the two versions' performance. How many players would like to play the game based on the lowest system requirements?
